Ever forgot to start your timer? Lost hours when your laptop died? Syncwork is a free time tracker that fixes both. The free desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux works offline, recovers your timer after a crash, reminds you when you're working but not tracking, and asks what to do with idle time. When you're ready, invoice your clients and see your real profit from the same hours. Free plan with no time limit, no credit card needed.
